CiteScore:
2.55ℹCiteScore:2018: 2.550CiteScore measures the average citations received per document published in this title. CiteScore values are based on citation counts in a given year (e.g. 2015) to documents published in three previous calendar years (e.g. 2012 – 14), divided by the number of documents in these three previous years (e.g. 2012 – 14).

Impact Factor:
1.819ℹImpact Factor:2018: 1.819The Impact Factor measures the average number of citations received in a particular year by papers published in the journal during the two preceding years.

5-Year Impact Factor:
2.157ℹFive-Year Impact Factor:2018: 2.157To calculate the five year Impact Factor, citations are counted in 2018 to the previous five years and divided by the source items published in the previous five years.

Source Normalized Impact per Paper (SNIP):
1.414ℹSource Normalized Impact per Paper (SNIP):2018: 1.414SNIP measures contextual citation impact by weighting citations based on the total number of citations in a subject field.

SCImago Journal Rank (SJR):
0.417ℹSCImago Journal Rank (SJR):2018: 0.417SJR is a prestige metric based on the idea that not all citations are the same. SJR uses a similar algorithm as the Google page rank; it provides a quantitative and a qualitative measure of the journal’s impact.

This special issue addresses all practical and conceptual aspects of distributed applications, including their design, modeling, implementation and operation, the supporting middleware, appropriate software engineering methodologies and tools, as well as experimental studies and applications. In particular, the special issue will address novel and advanced distributed systems, like blockchains, IOT and cyber-physical systems, peer-to-peer systems and the techniques which required for the definition and the development of these systems, for instance novel distributed consensus mechanisms, advanced networking techniques, trust and privacy.

Submissions will be judged on their originality, significance, clarity, relevance, and technical correctness.
